I'm continuing to analyze The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. Dante's heroicism in decsending to Hell represents the antithesis of Prufrock when he says "No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be; / Am an attendant lord, one that will do / To swell a progress, start a scene or two, / Advise the Prince; no doubt, an easy tool..." This attempt to become Hamlet or Dante passes with a pathetic acceptance on the part of Prufrock. Because Prufrock fails to became a hero in his own life, he turns to a wasteful life and isolation. Prufrock refuses to speak this "overwhelming question" so he cannot live a life with happiness. This represents the Guido in himself.
